Hey, don't be surprised when the shoujo prince has shoujo magical attacks. Or in this case, a buff/protection spell in projectile form. And a bunker? That would be the normal starting point of the level: a treasure-trove of guns, ammo and items...
Indeed, I don't think anything in the original games had anything special about their defences. Which meant that with patience and dodging skills, you could kill anything with your fist.
Rare to see enemies dodging and fleeing, but in most cases, they're focused on whoever hurt them last (which can include other demons/grunts, allowing for infighting scenarios...)
Cacodemons and Lost Souls, neither of which appear in the shareware release, I believe. They first appear on the Deimos levels, and are plentiful in Hell...
More impressive than it sounded. I doubt it has any ranged attack options, does it?
Most likely the Cyberdemon based in Deimos. Or maybe Mancubi.
As seen at the end of the level in-game. Though that version is basically a killbox that transitions you to the ending text crawl...
That might be why it's limited to one. Game balance is a fierce and vicious mistress.
Spectres, which lurk in the bunker. Mostly there to distract you and try to reduce your topped off ammunition before the boss fight.
Fortunately, they have options for gathering intelligence.
And here we go. Actually talking to the mobs... Probably a good thing they don't talk in the original games, can you imagine how annoying it'd be if they had two or three canned taunts they spammed?
And 'who needs to die to end it?' being the unspoken question.
...Seriously, imagine hearing that every time an Archvile pops up...
Ludicrous Gibs! ...Yes, I know that's a different franchise, but still.
Yep, even if this were the hardest difficulty, they would have no problems at all...
She just doesn't like the name 'Pinkies', does she?
Fortunately, they do come in other colours... Just not in the original game.
My mistake.Essentially a fuel source of sorts. Sustenance to keep them from snapping back tot heir home dimension, or the like.
And really, I don't think it would have been the best conversationalist anyway, given how it was taunting OL.
Well, that's helpful. And a Baron is a pretty strong ally.
Oh, hush. Have you seen their jaw structure? I'm amazed they can move their mouth without jamming their teeth into something soft. ...Might explain some of their temperament, really.
Good, asking the smart question.
'Again' being a nod to the deeper backstory from the newer games, with their ancient wars and off-world human kingdoms...
So most likely the Spider Mastermind. The demons wasted no time taking advantage of human technology once they learned about it...
Exactly like in the game: the final Level of Episode 3: Inferno. A big rolling boss fight in an open arena perfect for circle-strafing and a teleporter to the end-screen afterwards...
Not for long, with these four taking a hand in matters. Heck, they won't even have to run the levels, just fly and shoot.
Heck, depending on whether they feel like closing the portal first, they don't even need to bother stopping on the moonlet.
Hopefully without the painful transition of the final moments of the level...
Obi one : yells General Grievous.
It's mostly barrels.
Entirely correct. Zombiemen, demons, spectres, imps and the two barons.
Yesterday I had to fight 12 of the things with a mid-sized Haven army. They've got good initiative and movement, and they get back up once after their die, they're immune to fire and they do fire damage to anything that attacks them in melee.
No.
She's talking about the Barons.She just doesn't like the name 'Pinkies', does she?
'it in'?
Missing line between paragraphs.
'watching'?
I figured it was referring to the Wolfenstein demons Oh El mentioned earlier.
Sadly, despite deciding to assimilate more monsters a while ago (I think when he assimilated the ghost hydra heads and Construct-Lanterns were temporarily his only usable ability), he seems pretty reluctant to use assimilation except when it's the best way to deal with an enemy, or they have information he wants. In this case I can understand it somewhat since he is still on something of a power budget, though presumably he can still recharge by either making a lantern or taking power directly from the Honden.
Thank you, corrected.
It was only a major issue last time because he had turned himself into a demon and someone was specifically targeting him to funnel hell energy into him faster. By default it would only be a problem if he spends years there.
There might also be an energy compatibility issue? How different is the soul tattoo draining capacity from the "feed me" technique?
Plus the Reach combat zone probably doesn't have that many active battlefields, could it? Especially ones a single person could have a significant impact on. And especially a particularly mobile melee fighter at that...
Ah, I see. She's getting the classic 'I want to fight something worthy' impulses of the classic blood knight archetype. Be careful what you wish for, Persuader, you might get it...
Since the farms aren't being forced to grow coca plants by the drug barons anymore, eh?
Ah, surly teenagers. Hopefully the succuvamp kids aren't this bad when they hit their 'moody teen' phase.
Suspiciously-timed attempted nonchalance.
You have superpowers. Of course you did. I doubt a lot of the fighters were prepared for Earth Bullshit™.
I mean, it could have been some manner of all-comers, anything goes contest. Though I suspect a team of, say, drunk guys who signed up as a laugh would be soundly out of their weight class.
Though that would also convey a message to those watching. The Renegade is a known person to a large part of the galaxy (as Grayven, anyway.) Him supporting the girls would make it political.
If you know what he means, nudge-nudge-wink-wink?
Uh-oh. Something breaking the monotony? Be on your guard, folks!
Could be tricky, depending on their observation skills.
That doesn't mean much, since we know there are ways to conceal oneself form Ring Scans, even if the Renegade hasn't encountered as many as OL...
Oh, great. The knock-off, flying Tyranid Haruspexii...
Girl has to learn how to deal with agile flyers. For a start, Aero-discs!.
...They had to have stolen the technology from somewhere, surely. Perhaps this world is closer to the Providers planet of origin?
Unless it has some upgrades the Citizenry's units don't.
Oh, joy, it's enhanced by New God technology. Probably Apokaliptian, given its destructive nature.
Better get that Orange Ring online, Renegade! No, wait. If it can disrupt Fear, it can certainly mess with Avarice too.
Maybe the Mother Box can help you with that.
That's an unpleasant image. I imagine it looks like some manner of organic rock-grinder, just a throat lined with rows of gnashing ridges...
Back off, for a start. You are not as durable as the Renegade is, and superspeedsters can only move so fast mentally.
And if something there is controlling this, kill it?
Good, enforcing it like that will make them go without arguing...
If you haven't, you're about to experience what a living garbage disposal grinder feels like...
That's a bad sign, since that was made of metamaterials reinforced by his Narrative energies. If it can break the blade that easily, then it's just gotten a big surge of offensive support in its favour when it comes to his armour...
Best option would be digging about for a weak spot. Back of the sinuses is a fairly thin area on a human skull...
Essentially vibrating its jaws back and forth around his extremities, gnawing at them like a million reciprocating sawblades...
...Huh, it suffered instantaneous existential failure? Or it was never there and they were dealing with some sort of extremely convincing illusion.
That's what we'd like to know! Get your ass moving and maybe we'll find out.
I hope one day Renegade is going to order a big sword that doesn't break every other on-screen fight. I know he didn't have one in that glimpse of the future we had, but I still hope.
I have a potential theory as to why the daiklave keeps breaking. It's the weapon of Grayven, not the weapon of Renegade, so every time he uses it he's going against his nature. He needs to find something that is actually him...
Extraneous 'a'
I'm a little interested in the clarification of 'this galaxy'. Does he just lack knowledge of the other six galaxies, or are there actually a lot of notable people in them? Perhaps foolishly, I assumed the vast majority of things of interest were in the Milky Way.
How strange that she can use her portals all of a sudden.
'judged'
Yeah, I bet it's something like that. A tron-lined Provider suddenly manifesting, Persuader being able to use portals again, the two others suddenly disappearing, and the Provider itself disappearing completely when its supernatural abilities were deactivated all point towards some sort of strangely imperfect illusion.
Zoat has shrunk things down to just the Milky Way. Ex, the Green Lanterns operate in assigned sectors of the galaxy, rather than sectors of the universe. Read in that context, the "in the galaxy" didn't stick out; it's just the region they work in.
Possible that portals off planet fail but short range portals still work. Though it is a little odd. Simulation isn't a bad guess. A ludicrously powerful psychic or illusionist are also possibilities.
